A Resource About Understanding Mental Illness
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is nothing amusing about mental disorders, and though these
illnesses may affect one out of every four families in the United States,
there are still many myths and misunderstandings that circulate causing
distress to both patients and loved ones. Only clear explanations and new
knowledge can help direct people to the resources that are necessary to
produce the care and cures that can overcome these ailments. A new pamphlet
has been produced that can provide accurate information and help get patients
on the right track to recovery. Its called "Understanding Mental Illness" and
it is a very well illustrated 15 page publication filled with the kind of
explanations that everyone can understand. There are discussions of some of
the more common mental illnesses and a section that helps to separate facts
from fiction. You may obtain your copy by requesting it DIRECTLY from The
American Mental Health Fund, 2735 Hartland Road, Suite 302, Falls Church,
Virginia 22043. No envelope is required but the folks at the Fund would
appreciate any donation (50 cents or so) to help offset their postage and
handling costs. Believe me, this booklet is worth it.
